Wrench UNIX Shell Scripting (Solaris) for File Checking
Hi guys,

I'm sorry but i badly need your help. I am assigned to do a basic shell script in my job but sadly i don't have any idea on what it is because i am an electronics engineer, but i googled all of it, ask my friends but i cant finalize my scripts. so do please help me.

The requirement is i hve to do a shell script in unix solaris that will check invalid files in the directory. when there is an invalid file. it will echo "there is an invalid file in this directory(=the directory itself) please see dummyevents.log." then is no invalid file there. it will echo"there is no invalid file in this directory(=the directory itself)". then it will not produce dummyevents.log

how will you knwo that it is invalid file? ihave list of words like. if there is no "apple" word inside the file in the directory. it is invalid.

i hope you understand guys. and please see below draft of my scripts.

Code:
apple_DIR=/home/cfg/dirAPPLE.cfg
banana_DIR=/home/cfg/dirBANANA.cfg
orange_DIR=/home/cfg/dirORANGE.cfg
RESULT=/home/
apple_file=`cat $APPLE_DIR`
banana_file=`cat $BANANA_DIR`
orange_file=`cat $ORANGE_DIR`
#apple
for a in $apple_file
    do 
	cd $a
	touch Statuscheck.tmp
	ls -lrt | grep -l apple > Statuscheck.tmp
    FILE=`cat Statuscheck.tmp | wc -l`
    if [ $FILE -ne 0 ]
	then
	   echo "Invalid file in $a directory" > $RESULT/dummyevents.log
    fi
    rm Statuscheck.tmp
    done
#banana
for b in $banana_file
    do 
	cd $b
	touch Statuscheck.tmp
	ls -lrt | grep -l banana > Statuscheck.tmp
    FILE=`cat Statuscheck.tmp | wc -l`
    if [ $FILE -ne 0 ]
	then
	   echo "Invalid file in $b directory" > $RESULT/dummyevents.log
    fi
    rm Statuscheck.tmp
    done
#orange
for c in $orange_file
    do 
	cd $c
	touch Statuscheck.tmp
	ls -lrt | grep -l orange > Statuscheck.tmp
    FILE=`cat Statuscheck.tmp | wc -l`
    if [ $FILE -ne 0 ]
	then
	   echo "Invalid file in $c directory" > $RESULT/dummyevents.log
    fi
    rm Statuscheck.tmp
    done

pymcabatch

pymcabatch(1)						 PyMca X-Ray Fluorescence Toolkit					     pymcabatch(1)

NAME

       pymcabatch - Batch fitting of X-ray Fluorescence Spectra

SYNOPSIS

       pymcabatch [OPTIONS] [FILES]

DESCRIPTION

       Loops  over a series of input files to which the same fitting parameters can be applied. The setup of the fit configuration is usually made
       via the main PyMca application.

       The program stores the fitted parameters inside the IMAGES directory created in the user specfified output  directory.  The  pymcapostbatch
       tool can perform further analysis via correlation tools.

       The user can also request an HTML report. This is much slower but can be convenient to browse the results with a Web browser.

       This tool is also accessible via the Tools menu of the main PyMca window application.

EXAMPLES

       pymcabatch
	   Open a dialog to select input files, fit configuration, output
	   directory and output parameters.

       pymcabatch --cfg=fitconfig.cfg --outdir=/tmp/ *.mca
	   Fit all the .mca files in current directory using the specified
	   confifuration file fitconfig.cfg and stores the output in /tmp

       pymcabatch --cfg=fitconfig.cfg --outdir=/tmp/ --listfile=inputfiles
	   Same as above but taken the files from the inputfiles file. This file
	   is just a text file with one file path in each line.

CAVEATS

       This  tool,  when  used	in command line mode, could run fully Qt independent because in that case it uses Qt just for showing the progress
       bar.
